Ellie Lobovits is a visual artist, writer, and practicing midwife. Ellie’s work spans diverse media, including photography, film, collage and text. Self-portraiture, imagery of the natural world, and first-person narratives are recurring elements in her exploration of the intersections of feminist identity, the body, land, loss, and memory. Interweaving autobiographical elements with current socio-political issues, she explores what occurs in the space of juxtaposition between the so-called private and public spheres.
